Records Management
The library offers temporary storage for records in order to facilitate more efficient records management for campus departments. Records may be sent to the Records Center where they are maintained in a secure, locked storage area using a system that enables retrieval as needed. Records will be shredded after seven years or once they have otherwise met retention requirements and departmental needs.
Please contact the archivist before sending materials for storage in the Records Center or if you have any questions.
